Review & Install Video

So the blue 10-inch GT500 stripes we're taking a quick look at today are gonna be a great option for any S550 owners out there that are looking for a slightly inexpensive pair of slimmer stripes that are gonna pay a ton of homage to the GT500 Mustang, while also complementing other appearance parts on your car. But installation-wise here, guys, expect an easy but a pretty involved two out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter here, that's gonna be due to the size. Now either way, expect to be working on this for about two to three hours, and we'll have a little bit more for you coming up on that later.
And while I love these cars, I do have a tendency to modify almost anything with wheels on it. It's just inherent. I will never get away with it. And decals are appearance parts that are fairly inexpensive, install pretty easily, but they make a pretty huge visual impact. Now for the owners out there that aren't too into the idea of a hood decal for example, I think these are a great alternative for someone that wants to do something that not everybody has on their car. But ultimately, guys, when modifying our cars how we see fit, at the end of the day, we really just don't want them to look like any other Mustang on the road.
So the S550 looks great on its own, so why bother adding anything to your hood, right? Well, first and foremost, the lines on the S550's hood are great, they almost mimic something like a raised cowl hood, but everything just has tendency to get lost in the mix because everything's one color. Now no matter the color of your Mustang, these are gonna bring out the lines of your hood, make them look that much more prominent. So if you're after a retro look or if you just wanna bring out some of the classical elements of the Mustangs from yesteryear, this is gonna be a great place to start.
So now that you know why you might wanna throw these onto your S550, let's take a closer look at the construction and materials here. About 100% of the vinyl that's produced right here at AM, maybe a couple feet from where I'm standing, is designed, cut, tested, and packaged right here under this roof, and that's to ensure you're gonna have a perfect fit no matter what you're purchasing. But looking closer, this is a high quality, four mill, wrapping cast-style vinyl, which is something that's typically used when you're wrapping high-end exotic cars. Now the material has a built-in protective layer clear coat up top, and that's designed to give you upwards of eight years of use no matter what part of the country you're from or whatever type of weather your car's gonna be seeing. This is an incredibly strong material when you're comparing it to something like a thinner, calendered style vinyl, which starts to come apart or fade pretty fast. But something I really like about this and the vinyl that we use here is that most, if not all of it, features something called an air release technology. Now what that means is that on the adhesive side when you get this on your car and you're working out all the moisture and air from underneath, it's not gonna fight you like you might be used to with inferior types of vinyl.
Now looking into the pricing here, guys, expect to be spending around a hundred bucks to get these onto your car, which isn't all that bad considering that this is high-grade vinyl, and its a styling add-on that's gonna set your car apart from the rest of the pack. But switching gears, installation-wise, like I said a little bit earlier, you are gonna be looking at an easy but a pretty involved two outta three wrenches on the difficulty meter here, and a few hour job, only needing a small water bottle and a bunch of soap, and I definitely suggest having a couple friends there to help get these on. Now you're gonna wanna start by taking that soap and water mixture, mixing that together, and then liberally spraying down either your hood, trunk, or roof, or wherever you're starting. Now the reason why you're gonna do this is so that when you go to place the stripes, wherever you're putting them on to begin with, it's gonna buy you some time getting everything into place, and making sure that it's lined up where it should be. Now I'll throw it out there. With any type of vinyl, it's a really good idea to have a second set of hands and eyes around to make sure everything's in place, just making sure that it's plumb and in line. But once you're satisfied with where it's located, gonna work the air and moisture out with a squeegee and then carefully peel the transfer tape off. Now I'll mention with any type of vinyl out there, or even window tint, for example, air pockets and moisture is gonna get left over. You can push them out, but a great thing to do is just simply leave the car out in the sun, or if you're in a colder part of the country, you can take a hair dryer or a heat gun to it.
So that's gonna wrap up my quick review of the blue GT500 style stripes, fitting your 2015 through 2017 Mustang, that can be found right here at americanmuscle.com.

The product was not of the quality I expect from American Muscle. When the stripes where applied they had the appearance of orange peel finish. The product came with 3M backing but the actual stripping ...
was of a poorer quality.

I looking to buy these stripes for my mustang, but I can't tell what shade of blue they are. In the customer photos the stripes look like different shades in different photos. I was wondering if you have any more photos or videos of the stripes?

TylerH

Unfortunately the photos that we have listed for the Blue GT500 Style Stripes are the only ones we can provide at this time.

I want to put this on my graphite 2015 s550, so the question is is it the same color red as the tail lights or is it off? the customer pictures are throwing me off. I'm working on making the accents of the car the same red as the tail lights.

Psycho

The red stripes will be a similar color to the brake lights. The customer photos were all taken in different places with different lighting which could be throwing the contrast of the actual color off.

Does this stripe kit come with enough striping to go all the way down in front and back? I am not sure after looking at the photos. I had Ford install the white 10 inch stripes to my 2015 GT and those went all the way down in front and back. I would like the red stripes to do the same on my Ingot silver 2016. Thanks. JJG

The stripes come with plenty of slack to adhere to any typical body modifications you have done to your Mustang, and then some! We really make sure there is enough just to be safe, so no worries on that front.

I've had these for a little less than a year and I've noticed a significant amount of fading anywhere condensation would form. Is there any way to restore or protect from further damage? And what would you recommend is the easiest method to remove the decal?

DanielC

When it comes to vinyl graphics like decals, we recommend cleaning the stripes with a standard soap and water clean since most soaps have a oil base to restore fading vinyl. There are also aftermarket cleaners specifically intended for vinyl graphics.
When removing vinyl, it is best recommended to heat the surface with a heat gun to loosen the adhesive which will make the removal much easier. If heated properly, the graphic should come off in one clean piece.

The product was not of the quality I expect from American Muscle. When the stripes where applied they had the appearance of orange peel finish. The product came with 3M backing but the actual stripping was of a poorer quality.

These stripes are high quality vinyl. AM also makes sure to send more than enough material just in cause there is a screw up. I found that the wet application vs. the dry is a better method. Also I measured and pre cut the strips before applying which was helpful. With the smaller strips I removed the top layer of the masking tape. Have a heat gun handy and good luck. I listed it as a full day but I did mine over a period of evenings when I got home. Would recommend AM. I felt I got a got product at a good price.

My installer was a little bit iffy about these at first because he said they were not 3M decals as I was told they were going to be. He said they were a high quality vinyl but not the 3M material he was used to working with but they went on very nicely and he and I were both very happy with the end result

It's a great product for its price value. Takes your car to a new level. I installed it myself and this is my first stripes project ever. Would recommend to take it slow and extra careful while installing. But it's all worth for it.

Purchased this thinking it was going to be dark blue like the photos. And the photos also almost make it look metallic. Well it's not. It's a way lighter blue than the photo shows. Not that dark almost cobalt blue you see in the photo. So I paid a lot of money to get this installed and really aren't happy that the color is not accurate. Looks great. But it's not the same color plain and simple. Very misleading.

Stripes are not same color as picture.
They come in a lighter blue that is well, let's say
"far from macho badass dark blue" as in pic.
It's a cross between old Shelby 1960's experiment and a Bayliner boat.
Also has several flat clear lines perpendicular
throughout one of the stripes. Professional installer
said its as if material has been sitting on one flat spot while on AM parts shelf. Average quality vinyl.
Needed water process to install because it had no breather pin holes in back of vinyl. I have pictures but don't see a place to post. $280 labor to install.
Trim guy said if I used pin hole vinyl it would take half the time to install. 280 114= $420.00 all in.
Not SEMA worthy that's for sure. This is my 2nd white blue stripe GT. First was 2011 and used Trim shop vinyl. I'm done here.

As the photos show the end result was great. Installing the stripes however is definitely a two man job. Establishing a center line can be a bit of a chore and perhaps supplying a template for the wind shield and rear window would ease things greatly. A cutout for the GPS pod on the roof would also help. We took the better part of a day and ordered a second set of stripes as out first application on the hood was offline. Well worth the effort but you need to take your time to get it right.

These stripes completely change the look of the car. Ever since I got these installed I receive compliments on how nice the car looks pretty often. If you think that your car is looking a little plain, then these stripes are definitely for you. It looks a lot better in person than in the pictures as well. If you're doubting yourself about buying these, don't, because they're well worth the cost.

Not a bad purchase fairly low cost not too difficult to install but best of all that striped look on your mustang all I can say is man it looks good and you will no regret adding these stripes to your Mustang!

These stripes do wonders for a plain white Mustang. It really compliments the contours of the hood, roof, and trunk. Installation is not recommended for beginners, especially if you're alone. This is definitely a 2-person job. The stripes are very high quality and but do show discoloration if stretched. This shouldn't be a concern since AM ships more than enough to cover your 2015 Mustang. I had about 25' left over. While the stripes are shipped in precut sections, all three sections are the same length. One piece is big enough for the hood and roof, leaving the second for the trunk and bumpers. Overall, this stripe kit earned an A in my book in both quality and affordability.

Word on The Street

Well, let's all be honest, AM is the BEST mustang site on the web! Any questions you have send them an email and get a response in like an hour! That's customer service! I had a question about the rims I was looking at, and sent them an email and in an hour they answered all my questions and helped me decide what ones to get. I bought the rims that afternoon and the NEXT day I had ALL FOUR rims at my house..... I'm in shock still! Also the rims were on sale so I got them for an INSANE deal! Can't wait to spoil my pony with more upgrades! See you soon AM!
